Our spies tell us that contrary to media speculation, Eddie Irvine is not one of the twenty-two prospective entrants for the 2008 World Championship.
Although the identities of all 22 prospective entrants are known only by the FIA, our sources tell us that Eddie Irvine is not amongst them.
Previously, with backing from a Russian consortium, Irvine has tried to enter F1 as a team owner, most notable when he sought to purchase Minardi last year, only to lose out to Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
That said, we also hear that Eddie Jordan's entry is not quite what it seems.
